There is no added texture. turned, thoroughly sanded and dyed. Plus two very thin coats of wipe-on poly. The dye and then the poly help to greatly enhance the natural figures in the wood.

Thanks Tom. The figure in the wood looks very three dimensional - I suspect your choice of finish accentuates this. Well done!

Cheers.
Barry
